Indulge in a rich and decadent dessert with a twist of tartness – our recipe for dark chocolate cake with forest fruits. This dessert is perfect for chocoholics and fruit lovers alike, as the combination of the deep cocoa flavour with juicy, tangy berries creates a flavour explosion that leaves you wanting more.

To start off this recipe, preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan ovens) and begin with the cake batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 200g of all-purpose flour, 100g of cocoa powder, 1 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set this mixture aside.

In a separate mixing bowl, cream 200g of softened unsalted butter with 200g of caster sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Next, mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with 100ml of whole milk, until everything is fully combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this could cause a denser cake.

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch cake tin and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake the cake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool.

While you wait for the cake to cool, prepare the forest fruit topping. In a mixing bowl, combine 200g of mixed forest fruits such as blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Then add 50g of caster sugar and mix until the fruits are coated. Sprinkle a tablespoon of cornstarch over the fruit mixture and stir until the cornstarch has evenly coated the fruits.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 50g of unsalted butter and 50g of dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) together until fully melted and combined. Once this mixture has reached a smooth consistency, pour it over the berries, stirring to coat.

Remove the cake from the tin and place it on a cake stand or plate. Spread the chocolate and berry mixture over the surface of the cake, making sure to cover the edges as well. Chill the cake for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.

This dark chocolate cake with forest fruits is perfect for any occasion – whether it be a cozy night in or a special occasion with family and friends. The combination of the rich and smooth dark chocolate cake with the tangy and sweet forest berry topping is irresistible and is sure to become a favourite dessert among your loved ones.
